HBO to Donate $1 Million to COVID-19 Relief in Lieu of Emmy Party and FYC Events

is taking some of the money it normally spends on its annual Emmy afterparty and other For Your Consideration events and donating it to COVID-19 pandemic relief.

In an announcement Friday, HBO said it would donate $1 million to the Mayor’s Fund for Los Angeles Emergency COVID-19 Crisis Fund. “On behalf of Bob Greenblatt and myself, we are proud to make this contribution from HBO instead of using it for our traditional Emmy party and FYC events,” said Casey Bloys, president, HBO Programming. “I am tremendously proud of all of our shows in Emmy® contention this year, and I am hopeful they will receive the recognition I believe is richly deserved for all of our talented collaborators, in front of and behind the camera. We look forward to being able to get back to the work we love.

Per HBO, “The Mayor’s Fund for Los Angeles Emergency COVID-19 Crisis Fund is providing essential support to emergent, critical needs identified with the City as it responds to the pandemic, including support for families and small businesses, relief for healthcare workers, critical healthcare equipment, victims of domestic violence, and services for the city’s homeless population.
